"'''Shout to the Lord'''" is probably the best known song written by the [[Hillsong]] songwriter [[Darlene Zschech]]. It picks up the powerful and majestic themes and images of the [[Psalms]], particularly chapters 95 to 100.
It was estimated in 2006 that 25 million churchgoers worldwide sang "Shout to the Lord" in any one week. The song continues to be well known and was sung on American Idol in 2008<ref>'American Idol' Brings Jesus Back to Worship Song by [[Nathan Black]] of the [[Christian Post]], 11-April-2008.

===Lyrics===
My Jesus, my Saviour
Lord, there is none like you
All of my days I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
==Quotes==
'''Nathan Black reporting for the [[Christian Post]]'''
: When the contestants [of American Idol] sang the song [Shout to the Lord] again near the beginning of Thursday's results show, many Christians were pleasantly surprised to hear "Jesus." The religious song, however, continued to irk others who did not find it appealing to a wide audience.
